]]> In creating a video work, Angelina Voskopoulou performs a dance for the camera, also known as a screendance, and does not document it. She choreographs a piece knowing that she will re-organize and manipulate the material during the editing process combining elements such as time, space, speed and spatial composition. In addition, one incorporates the movement of the camera, as well as the composition of the frames. Even though the body in movement is the ‘seed’ and inspiration of a screendance, often the movement phrases get ‘thrown’ around, the end becomes the beginning, the body gets fragmented and layers of dancers end up superimposed on to different backgrounds, creating a new work which is sometimes far removed from the movement material that it was initially based on. The artist’s decisions are based on the rhythm and composition of the new piece, as well as on the design, contrast and the proximity to the camera. She is trying to create a visual metaphor, using a combination of both the narrative and the location. The concept of a video choreography in her films is based on her own lyrics, texts and ideas.
